(1)

Vaynor²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Jack Enright⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 81| D

8/1

Not disgraced when third of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Newmarket (12f, good) 21 days ago. Becoming well treated and drops in grade now.

Form: 3519-63

(5)

Dancing In Paris²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 81| D

5/4

Career best when winning 20-runner handicap at York (11.8f, good, 9/2) 23 days ago, keeping on well. Obvious claims of following up in less-competitive event.

Form: 7-80821

(7)

Miller Spirit¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 77

18/1

Unreliable sort. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 51540-0

(2)

The Thunderer^p³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Luke Catton| T: S C Williams| OR: 76| D

18/1

Last of 5 in handicap (14/1) at this course (14f, heavy) 35 days ago. Chance on old form but needs to bounce back from a tame display.

Form: 5-30465

(4)

Swiss Money^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: H Dickin| OR: 76

12/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, fourth of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Newmarket (12f, good) 21 days ago. Must improve.

Form: 601-854

(6)

Genesius¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Morgan Cole| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 74| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 11/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good) 15 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again.

Form: 53232-3

(3)

Fiddlers Green²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Gina Mangan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 68| BF| D

3/1

3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Doncaster in April. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good, 5/4) 27 days ago. Not one to write off after one poor run.

Form: 816116

Forecasts

Dancing In Paris (5/4), Fiddlers Green (3/1), Genesius (6/1), Vaynor (8/1), Swiss Money (12/1), Miller Spirit (18/1), The Thunderer (18/1)

Having gone up 6 lb for comfortably landing a 20-runner event at York last month, DANCING IN PARIS looks the obvious answer to this easier race. Genesius is a danger and Vaynor is worth noting down in grade.
